Small Groups

A great way to get involved at United Christian Parish is by joining a small group. Small groups are a group of 8-12 people who meet regularly. They are designed to help you grow more mature in your faith, find authentic community and feel closer to God. At UCP, you can find a variety of small groups. New members are always welcome and many of our small groups meet both on-site and digitally, so no matter where you are, we invite you to take a look at what groups UCP offers.
